Lowe’s has signed a two-year contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports to continue sponsoring five-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson in 2014 and 2015.

The announcement, which was made at the Lowe’s national sales meeting Wednesday, comes three days after Johnson and his Hendrick team won Sunday’s Daytona 500. Lowe’s contract was set to expire after this season.

The home improvement company has had a successful relationship with Hendrick and Johnson.

Led by crew chief Chad Knaus, Johnson has 61 victories in 400 career Cup starts and won five straight Cup titles from 2006-10. His victories include the 2006 and 2013 Daytona 500s.

“Lowe’s believed in me before I had any success,” said Johnson, whose contract with Hendrick also runs through 2015. “They are all I’ve ever known in my Sprint Cup career, and their support of me and the No. 48 team is second to none in the sport.

“We’ve been together for this crazy ride, and I’m so happy we’re continuing it together. They truly are family, and I’m proud to represent them.”

Lowe’s has sponsored Johnson at Hendrick since Johnson started in the series full time in 2002.

“It has been a great ride with Jimmie since he started in the Cup series 12 years ago,” said Lowe’s chief marketing officer Tom Lamb. “We are proud to sponsor one of the most elite teams and drivers in racing and have a five-time champion carry the Lowe’s brand each week.”
